Paraíba state capital — the easternmost city in the Americas (Ponta do Seixas is the continent's easternmost point). Tambaú and Cabo Branco (the beach-strip residential cores) and the Centro Histórico anchor the walkable areas. Same Brazil DNV. The structural draws are warm year-round Atlantic-coast climate, dramatic beach geography (the urban beaches are clean and swimmable), meaningfully sub-Recife / Natal pricing, and the highest sunlight density on the Brazilian coast (300+ sunny days).
